#182The most impressive part is that the voice uses the right feelings and tonal language during the presentation. I'm not sure how much of that was that they had tested this over and over, but it is really hard to get that right so if they didn't fake it in some way I'd say that is revolutionary.

Ah yes, also known as being co-founder :)

That was very impressive, but it doesn't surprise me much given how good the voice mode is in the ChatGPT iPhone app is already. The new voice mode sounds better, but the current voice mode did also have inflection that made it feel much more natural than most computer voices I've heard before.
Can you tell the current voice model what feelings and tone it should communicate with? If not it isn't even comparable, being able to control how it reads things is absolutely revolutionary, that is what was missing from using these AI models as voice actors.

#184I admit I drink the koolaid and love LLMs and their applications. But damn, the way it’s responds in the demo gave me goosebumps in a bad way. Like an uncanny valley instincts kicks in.
It should do that, because it's still not actually an intelligence. It's a tool that is figuring out what to say in response that sounds intelligent - and will often succeed!

#185This thing continues to stress my skepticism for AI scaling laws and the broad AI semiconductor capex spending. 1- OpenAI is still working in GPT-4-level models. More than 14 months after the launch of GPT-4 and after more than $10B in capital raised. 2- The rhythm that token prices are collapsing is bizarre. Now a (bit) better model for 50% of the price. How people seriously expect these foundational model companies…
I'm ceaselessly amazed at people's capacity for impatience. I mean, when GPT 4 came out, I was like "holy f, this is magic!!" How quickly we get used to that magic and demand more.
Especially since this demo is extremely impressive given the voice capabilities, yet still the reaction is, essentially, "But what about AGI??!!" Seriously, take a breather. Never before in my entire career have I seen technology advance at such a breakneck speed - don't forget transformers were only invented 7 years ago. So yes, there will be some ups and downs, but I couldn't help but laugh at the thought that "14 months" is seen as a long time...

Random OpenAI question: While the GPT models have become ever cheaper, the price for the tts models have stayed in the $15/1Mio char range. I was hoping this would also become cheaper at some point. There're so many apps (e.g. language learning) that quickly become too expensive given these prices. With the GPT-4o voice (which sounds much better than the current TTS or TTS HD endpoint) I thought maybe the prices for TTS would go down. Sadly that hasn't happened. Is that something on the OpenAI agenda?
Re: GPT-4o
#187This is really impressive engineering. I thought real time agents would completely change the way we're going to interact with large models but it would take 1~2 more years. I wonder what kind of new techs are developed to enable this, but OpenAI is fairly secretive so we won't be able to know their sauce. On the other hand, this also feels like a signal that reasoning capability has probably already been plateaued a…
Reliable agents in diverse domains need better reasoning ability and fewer hallucinations. If the rumored GPT-5 and Q* capabilities are true, such agents could become available soon after it’s launched.
Sam has been pretty clear on denying GPT-5 rumors, so I don't think it will come anytime soon.

#189I'm really impressed about this demo! Apart from the usual quality benchmarks I'm really impressed about the latency for audio/video: "It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which is similar to human response"... If true at scale, what could be the "tricks" they're using for achieving that?!

#190OpenAI's Mission and the New Voice Mode of GPT-4 • Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, emphasizes two key points from their recent announcement. Firstly, he highlights their commitment to providing free access to powerful AI tools, such as ChatGPT, without advertisements or restrictions. This aligns with their initial vision of creating AI for the benefit of the world, allowing others to build amazing things using their t…
